Monday Morning Debrief 95

Yes yes, we know, it’s not morning anymore. But we’ve had some very important business to attend to this morning.

Now we’re done sniffing the latest issue, we’re ready to talk about what we got up to at the weekend. But first a tune. Let’s have some engine noise. You’ll see why soon enough.

My weekend did not involve bike riding, but it did involve a spot of wild camping with the kids. I took advantage of the fact that I was down to only two children (my husband being away watching cricket), so we had a local adventure into the woods. Since nobody needed a wild poo and the first aid kit was not deployed, I’m going to call it a success.

Wil went out for a ride. Here he is looking very scared by a bog.

Wil does not eat cake, so he took a picture of someone else’s cake. There are probably laws about that.

Chipps also went out for a ride, and took this shot of Beate riding through the heather, which is on tip top form right now. Beate, of course, is always on tip top form.

Chipps has got himself a new car. Apparently it cost him five guitars and two amps.

Andi has also got a new car, but he hasn’t got any pictures of it yet. But this is his old car that he’s swapping it for.

I know nothing about cars, and am only interested in their bike carrying capacity. Which makes both of these very low scorers. However, I understand that some people think a car can add to your sex appeal. I’m not prepared to comment on whether either of these are working for me. But you should feel free to comment below.

In a switch from our usual format, we didn’t bring you a Fresh Goods Friday Live, but we did do a grand unboxing of some Trickstuff gear that landed last week. Get your peepers round this.

I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones. More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments. I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.
